However, within the UK, London, and surrounding areas significantly skew the UK average and Scotland actually performs fairly well out of the 12 regions.</p> <p>There are opportunities for Scotland to grow its R&amp;D activity through additional funding and tax relief but to address questions surrounding how to incentivise R&amp;D, it is important to acknowledge the limitations of the data available.</p> <p>There are some limitations of the BERD data such as the under-coverage of small businesses and businesses in some industries such as finance. However, by looking at Scotland’s growth sector database we were able to analyse R&amp;D activity in Scotland’s financial services sector. This sector, along with Scotland’s other growth sectors account for a large share of Scotland’s R&amp;D and there are a lot of opportunities for growing Scotland’s research and development within these industries.</p> <p>Continued growth in these sectors will require significant investment and policies that incentivise R&amp;D activity must be in place. However, as this article has highlighted, decisions must not be based solely on data that has as many caveats as the GERD data.</p></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-resource-url field--type-link field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">Resource Address (URL)</div> <div class='field__items'> <div class="field__item"><a href="https://fraserofallander.org/back-to-basics-research-and-development-in-scotland/">https://fraserofallander.org/back-to-basics-research-and-development-in-scotlan…</a></div> </div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-keywords field--type-entity-reference field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">Keywords</div> <div class='field__items'> <div class="field__item"><a href="/taxonomy/term/182" hreflang="en">Research Scotland.</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/taxonomy/term/174" hreflang="en">Technological innovations Scotland.</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/taxonomy/term/583" hreflang="en">Research &amp; Development investment</a></div> </div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-related-questions field--type-entity-reference field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">Related Questions</div> <div class='field__items'> <div class="field__item"><a href="/taxonomy/term/13" hreflang="en">What is the future of research and development in Scotland?</a></div> </div> </div> <div id="field-language-display"> <fieldset class="js-form-item js-form-type-item form-type-item js-form-item- form-item- form-group"> <label>Language</label> English </fieldset> </div> Mon, 13 Sep 2021 09:53:28 +0000 Stephen Richard 254 at https://sil2.e-infinitum.com
